Procurement software for membership organisations.
Membership organisations increasingly offer procurement or buying services as a member benefit, running frameworks and deals that members can access. eSourcingData gives a membership body one platform to establish compliant frameworks centrally and let each member run their own call-offs, with separate accounts and a full audit trail.
A platform built for membership bodies
A growing number of membership organisations turn procurement into a member benefit, using their collective scale to secure frameworks and deals that individual members could not. Doing that credibly means running compliant sourcing centrally and giving members a clean, easy route to buy through it. eSourcingData supports the full model, from establishing frameworks to member call-offs, in one platform.
The relationship is inherently multi-party. eSourcingData is multi-member and multi-account from one platform, so each member runs their own call-offs and mini-competitions in their own account while drawing on the body's central frameworks. Members get a simple, defensible way to buy, and the organisation keeps oversight of how its buying service is being used across the membership.
Where members are public bodies or the body itself procures under public rules, the Procurement Act 2023 comes into scope. The platform is built for PA23 from the ground up, with automated Find a Tender and Contracts Finder publication, so both the organisation's framework notices and members' call-off awards are handled correctly, whichever rulebook applies to a given member.
